Now, list down the factors of 566
:1,2,283,566
Now, list down the factors of 556
:1,2,4,139,278,556
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 566,556 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 566,556 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 143,174
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 24882
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/24882
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 566/143,556/174 is 2/24882
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 143,174 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(143,174) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(143,174) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(143,174) = ( 143 × 174 ) / 1
LCM(143,174) = 24882 / 1
LCM(143,174) = 24882
